HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2002_04_21DURHAM —A new advisory
committee is looking for input on
how to enhance public transit in
Ajax and Pickering.
The Transit Advisory Committee
was recently formed and will report
to the Ajax Pickering Transit Au-
thority. Caryn Antram of Ajax is
chairman and Kam Rathee of Pick-
ering is vice-chairman.
APTA is considering a variety of
route options and over the coming
months the committee will focus on
strategies to introduce new routes in
developing areas, as well as oppor-
tunities to improve cross-boundary
links between the two communities.
“Creation of the advisory com-
mittee means we now have a formal
way of receiving input from a group
representing our customers,” said
Maurice Brenner, APTA board co-
chairman and Pickering regional
councillor.

PICKERING —An 11-
year-old boy was robbed of his
gold chain at knifepoint
Thursday.
The victim and a friend
were walking near Kingston
Road and Rougemount Drive
during lunch hour when they
were confronted by an older
youth armed with a butterfly
knife, Durham Regional Po-
lice said.
The attacker demanded the
boy hand over the chain,
ripped it from his neck and or-
dered the pair to leave, police
said. The boys reported the at-
tack to school officials, who
called police. The area was
searched with no sign of the
thug.
The suspect is described as
male, white, 15 to 20 years
old, 5-foot-3, with acne and he
was wearing dark clothes.
Anyone with information is
asked to call police.

Pickering public
buildings struck in
second attack
this week
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Extensive
damage to a new public facility
at Brock Road and Finch Avenue
has the City increasing its re-
solve to stop what it says is a
growing epidemic of vandalism.
“We’re going to step up our
efforts. Take pictures, report
everything to Durham police and
involve the street crimes unit,”
said Richard Holborn, the City’s
division head of municipal prop-
erty and engineering “They’re
taking it to the next level so we
will too.”
In this latest case, a new
$120,000 clubhouse built at
Brockridge Park in partnership
with the Pickering Baseball As-
sociation was vandalized this
past week. Mr. Holborn said van-
dals threw concrete blocks
breaking the glass bricks on the
wall of the structure.

Students educated on
importance of education
Junior Achievement
shows ‘Economics of
Staying in School’
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM —So you’re
thinking of dropping out of
school to become the next
Bill Gates, eh? Think again.
Staying in school reaps
more benefits than just the
approval of mom and dad,
according to Junior Achieve-
ment Durham Region. In
fact, the organization is set-
ting out to demonstrate that
point with its ‘Economics of
Staying in School’ (ESIS)
week, beginning Monday in
schools across Durham Re-
gion. More than 350 volun-
teers in 260 Grade 8 class-
rooms will deliver the mes-
sage that dropping out
equals selling out on the fu-
ture. Thousands of students
will listen to those in the
workforce tell why it’s im-
portant to keep at school.
“ESIS is a program that
has existed under Junior
Achievement for 10 years,”
said Brad Savage, the orga-
nization’s resource develop-
ment co-ordinator. “It’s
tried, tested, and true. It
works.”
The strategy of volun-
teers will be to draw up a
budget for the class, listing
all the things the students
hope to have in life. This in-
cludes television, a car,
house, and other material
and necessary belongings.
Mr. Savage said this paints a
picture of the type of money
and job needed to help stu-
dents reach their goals.
“The volunteer gives a
message of realism by using
things like budgeting to
show the real world requires
a real job,” he said. Mr. Sav-
age said students are usually
surprised to see what kind of
coin they’ll need to one day
own a car and that house
with the white picket fence.
According to a paper
written by Human Re-
sources Development Cana-
da, based on research find-
ings from a year-and-a-half
ago, full-time earnings are
lower for males and much
lower for females who drop
out of high school. “Drop-
ping out cuts off future pos-
sibilities to succeed,” says
the report, “because
dropouts tend not to have the
skills or credentials to pur-
sue further training.”
“If a person doesn’t have
a well-rounded education
they’re doomed to a mini-
mum-wage life of work,”
Mr. Savage added.

‘They are going to do
what they’re going to do’,
owner says of group
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —More than 30
protesters were out front of a north
Pickering property Thursday morn-
ing asking questions about what the
steady barrage of trucks in and out of
the land is leaving behind.
“All this noise and the stink, it’s
bloody awful,” said Kees Van Der
Vecht, who lives on Kinsale Road
just east of the Hwy. 7 property. “No-
body is inspecting the crap that goes
in there, never. It’s a mess.”
Property owner James Sabiston
told the News Advertiser last week
only clean fill is being dumped on the
property.
He reiterated that claim in an in-
terview Thursday and the Ministry of
the Environment agrees.
Dozens of dump trucks poured
into the property Thursday morning
as protesters, joined by striking On-
tario Public Service Employees
Union workers, held up signs of
protest.
Mario Orlandi, owner of the prop-
erty directly east of the 75-foot-high
mountain of fill, questioned how
clean the soil is.
He has owned his property since
the late 1960s and said the dump used
to be a farm.
Now, he said, when it rains the
highway becomes covered in mud
seeping out from the property.
“Traffic is a disaster every single
day and when it rains the road is cov-
ered in mud... they should clean it up
or we might as well hang a sign that
says Pickering is open for dumping,”
added Kinsale resident John Occhip-
inti.
Mr. Sabiston said he was aware of
the protest.
“We do everything we can, we
watch the roads, we’re careful, but
we have our rights too,” he said. “I
don’t have anything to say about the
people out there, they are going to do
what they’re going to do.”
Currently the city has no bylaw
regulating clean fill dumps or forcing
property owners to apply for clean
fill dumping permits.
However, Pickering council has
passed a motion asking City staff, the
ministries of environment and health,
and the Toronto Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) to investigate the
concerns.
Ministry of the Environment
spokesman John Steele said the prop-
erty was examined just last month.
“I don’t know the exact date but
sometime in early March an environ-
mental officer visited the site and
found no evidence of illegal waste
disposal,” he said. “Residents’ con-
cerns were about the truck noise, traf-
fic and dust, the municipality should
be in a position to do something
about that.”
City clerk Bruce Taylor has said
the city is pursuing any and all ac-
tions available.

MOSCOW ––In the days of the Soviet
regime one thing that was not a concern was
right wing political groups converging on the
capital city.
But life is very different here than a decade
ago. Moscow braced itself for Hitler’s birth-
day today, Sunday, and the anticipated activi-
ties of skinhead extremists expected to cele-
brate with attacks against foreigners and visi-
ble minorities.
The American consulate was recommend-
ing tourists take extra precautions this week-
end while the newspapers here recalled at-
tacks last year that ended with one man dead.
Friday, the Durham delegation, here to pro-
mote Canada’s bid for the $12 billion ITER
fusion energy research facility in Clarington,
discovered another victim of the transition
from a controlled economy to a capitalist sys-
tem.
On tour at Russia’s premier nuclear re-
search facility, one didn’t have to look far to
see the cost exacted. The Kurchatov Centre
was the very place the Tokamak — the inven-
tion that pushed fusion research around the
world years ahead — was created. Aside from
the fusion institute, the centre is home to six
other research institutes including nuclear fis-
sion research. During a period when all Sovi-
et interest was focused on military supremacy,
the secret recipe for the atom bomb was for-
mulated within the very walls of one of hun-
dreds of buildings sitting in various degrees of
disrepair on the site. Today fusion research is
limited by funding constraints despite the abil-
ities of Kurchatov’s scientists. In 1989 the
team constructed a smaller version of the
ITER prototype the international partners
hope will be the answer to finding a clean,
plentiful source of energy to meet the world’s
needs when fossil fuel supplies are drained.
The T-15 Tokamak sits mothballed, awaiting
unavailable operating dollars that may never
be forthcoming.
Meanwhile Vladimir Putin, said to be Rus-
sia’s most popular president ever, made an
economic speech yesterday that did not boast
on the accomplishments his government has
made to date. Instead, he candidly challenged
it to pick up the pace toward world economy
standards. His sombre message spoke of the
low life expectancy (59 for men, 72 for
women) and the poor standard of living for
many of Russia’s residents. He even spoke of
the real problem this country has with home-
lessness, a problem that simply did not exist
under communist rule. Millions of Russian
children are part of that statistic with many as
young as seven found living around train sta-
tions and prostituting or begging to make a
living. If they’re lucky they are in orphanages,
but the need far outweighs the supply. The
majority of these children are not orphans in
the traditional sense of losing parents to death.
These are often “social orphans” who have
lost their parents to alcoholism and other soci-
etal ills. As Russia works through the transi-
tion in its economy, they are the very human
reminders that freedom does have a price.

It’s a new facility and it al-
ready needs repairs.”
But, Mr. Holborn said the

portable washrooms in City

“They’re taking it to a high-
er level,” Mr. Holborn said.
“This situation is no different

Allergy season is soon approach-
ing, bringing lots of sneezes along with
it. The Allergy Treatment Clinic may
have the relief you’re looking for.
Located at the Holistic Health
and Nutrition office in Whitby, it’s cen-
tral to the entire Durham Region and is
the only one of its kind in this area.
Integrating various therapies provides
a truly holistic approach to treating not
only seasonal and food allergies, but
also related disorders (i.e. eczema,
headaches, arthritis, ear infections,
ADD, sinusitis, smoking addictions,
digestive disorders, etc.)

different from most holistic clinics
because of the unique services it pro-
vides. The clinic specializes in NAET
Allergy Treatment, Electro Dermal
Screening (Allergy Testing),
Nutritional Consulting, Craniosacral
Therapy, Acupuncture/Acupressure,
Hypnotherapy, and Reflexology. The
Practitioners, Suzanne Dashney,
Carolyn Long, Leslie Laycox and Anne
Brown, have integrated their services
to provide an individual Treatment
Plant for each client.
Before proceeding with treat-
ments, the client is assessed for aller-
gies and nutritional deficiencies using
Electro Dermal Screening (E.D.S.) and
a Nutri-Body Analysis Questionnaire.
Once completed, and individual
Treatment Plan is created to provide a
holistic solution.
NAET is a revolutionary allergy
treatments, that uses acupressure too
relieve allergies and nutritional defi-
ciencies; safely, quickly and effectively.
Suzanne Dashney, a Nutritional
Consultant and Certified NAET
Practitioner, has had tremendous suc-
cess with her clients, offering many
people permanent relief from various
allergies and disorders.
Cranio Sacral Therapy has also been
found to play a big role in reducing
symptoms by reliving structural
restrictions associated with the aller-
gies. Carolyn Long not only uses
Cranio Sacral Therapy to help her
clients but also Hypnotherapy,
Accupressure/Accupuncture and
Reflexology.
Avery important part of the treat-
ment plan is the nutritional compo-
nent offered by Leslie Laycox and
Anne Brown, both Nutritional consul-
tants. They provide the ongoing nutri-
tional support to ensure longterm
relief from symptoms.
If you’re tired of having allergies,

Service. What’s the total effect on the
availability of weed by this massive
effort to stop pot growers? Zero.
This battle in the war on drugs is a
complete and utter waste of time,
money, and effort. Police officials are
banging their heads against a brick
wall. They continue to bust grow-op
after grow-op and it’s all just a drop in
the bucket. Marijuana is as readily
available to those who want it as it
was before these plants were confis-
cated.
No matter how many people get ar-
rested and grow-ops get taken down,
people are still going to use drugs. It’s
time we realize there is a more sensi-
ble solution than a war on drugs that
makes criminals out of the users.
“The war on drugs is over, drugs
won,” remarked John Howard Society
of Durham Region counsellor Beth
Whalen. Ms. Whalen runs a needle
exchange program for the John
Howard Society called project
xchange and she’s right, the war is
over.
The program she runs is also right.
It gives clean needles to drug addicts
in exchange for dirty ones to help pre-
vent the spread of infectious disease.
Health Canada studies indicate more
than 34 per cent of the estimated new
HIV infections and more than 60 per
cent of new hepatitis C infections are
related to injection drug use. In fact,
most experts agree the criminalization
of drugs helps contribute to the spread
of disease. By pushing addicts into the
back alleys, forcing them to hide from
the cops, fix quickly and move on,
dirty needles are shared and diseases
are spread.
Ms. Whalen and project xchange
are out there making a difference. It’s
called harm reduction and it works.
Last year, 1,530 men and 1,197
women exchanged needles in the
Durham program. Project xchange
gave out 32,285 needles and took in
31,395. But, Ms. Whalen says project
xchange isn’t even scratching the sur-
face. Without more money they can-
not properly service the communities
outside of Oshawa.
People say project xchange is con-
doning drug use. I say they are doing
a lot more than the police and the war
on drugs ever did for the health and
well being of society as a whole. Open
up your cheque books, people, or tell
your local politicians you want
Durham police to stop fighting a war
they’ll never win.
Tell them there’s a better idea.
Harm reduction needs your help and
you need harm reduction.
Give up on unwinnable war – program has it right
Society programmed
to rely on drugs
To the editor:
Re: ‘A new war on drugs,’story, April 12.
As long as society makes a distinction
between legal and illegal drugs, the war
on drugs will never be won. Having the
mindset that some drugs are deemed
harmful and illegal while others, pre-
scribed by a doctor, are believed to be
safe, has had fatal consequences.
Over 100,000 people die unnecessari-
ly every year in the United States and
Canada from reactions to properly pre-
scribed medications. Ten thousand die
annually from illegal drugs. Though
some medications may be beneficial and
even lifesaving, the excessive use of
medications has been well documented
to cause harm.
The pharmaceutical industry spends
millions of dollars every year convincing
people they have a lotion, potion or pill
to treat every ailment and that drugs are
the answer to all health problems. No
wonder some will turn to illegal drugs to
reduce their pain or increase their plea-
sure, they have been programmed to do
so!
No society can shift its thinking to a
drug-free approach when they have been
taught since childhood to believe they
can’t live without drugs.

It certainly didn’t take Premier Ernie Eves long to make good
on his promise for additional textbook funding in Ontario schools.
The announcement came this week following the premier’s
first cabinet meeting and school boards in Durham are included on
the list.
The Durham District School board is to receive $2.095 million,
while the Durham Catholic District School Board is getting
$812,000. In neighbouring Clarington, governed by the Kawartha
Pine Ridge District School Board, public schools are to receive
$1.3 million, while $450,000 has been set aside for the Peterbor-
ough-Victoria-Northumberland-Clarington Catholic District
School Board.
School officials in Durham, certainly, are welcoming the
money. It will be used to provide the necessary and current re-
sources required for students to meet Ontario’s new curriculum
standards.
But this first move by Mr. Eves also signals an important sym-
bolic departure from the approach favoured by his predecessor,
Mike Harris. Mr. Eves campaigned for the leadership this spring
promising a kinder, gentler Tory government. The cynicism that
has taken root, particularly among educators in Ontario in relation
to all things Tory, will be a difficult notion for Mr. Eves to dispel.
However, the textbook funding is a tangible example of what
the future may hold for Ontario under Mr. Eves’ leadership. And
though it is welcome, it must also be noted that this is a small first
step for the new leadership.
School boards across Ontario — and certainly in Durham Re-
gion — have been clamouring for resources to adequately teach
the rigorous new curriculum.
And they’ll tell you success in meeting the new standards goes
far beyond having shiny new textbooks. More overall funding is
needed to address teacher shortfalls, to provide adequate pupil
places and, particularly in Durham, to meet the growing special-
education needs of a portion of its student body.
On that score, Mr. Eves has also promised to revisit the fund-
ing formula so widely castigated by educators in recent years as
being woefully inadequate.
If Mr. Eves and new Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer are
to make further gains on the education front, another look at the
funding formula would be an important and timely place to start.
The new Ontario leadership must be given credit for acting
swiftly and decisively on keeping Mr. Eves’ promise of addition-
al textbook funding.
But it must act equally swiftly and decisively on the funding
formula if it is to be perceived as a responsive government with a
renewed commitment to education.

Judge rejects OPP
staff sergeant’s
‘outlandish’testimony
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Dismissing his
testimony as “outlandish”, “ludi-
crous” and “beyond comprehen-
sion”, a judge has found a former
Whitby OPP detachment com-
mander guilty of breach of trust
by stealing public money.
Judge Karen Johnson, of On-
tario Court of Justice, will sen-
tence Staff Sergeant Bradley Dun-
bar July 3 after a pre-sentence re-
port is prepared.
Staff Sgt. Dunbar, a 24-year
OPP veteran currently suspended
with pay, was charged in May
2000 following an internal inves-
tigation into the disappearance of
revenue flowing from public re-
quests for criminal background
reference checks and copies of ac-
cident reports.
Court heard civilians can pay
$25 for background checks and
$40 for accident reports. The
money was placed with receipts in
a locked box kept in the Henry
Street station house, and Staff Sgt.
Dunbar was the keyholder.
At the end of each month the
commanding officer emptied the
box, counted the cash and pre-
pared the bank deposit, court was
told.
Roughly $4,315 designated
Ministry of Finance revenue van-
ished between January 1999 and
May 2000, prosecutor John Mars-
land said.
OPP personnel testified official
receipts were rarely available so
staff often gave handwritten “dash
pad” receipts to civilians for back-
ground checks.
Copies of the receipts along
with the cash and authorization
forms, in which civilians consent
to a background check, were
placed in the cash box.
In his testimony, Staff Sgt.
Dunbar, 46, claimed that since the
dash-pad receipts were not offi-
cial he regularly destroyed them
along with attached consent
forms, and removed the related
money paid for the public ser-
vices.
The officer testified he kept the
cash in a “float envelope” and
used the money to make up for
shortfalls at the end of each
month.
In her decision Thursday,
Judge Johnson found his explana-
tion “extremely odd. It makes no
sense...
“I absolutely reject the evi-
dence of the accused with respect
to... why he destroyed the dash-
pad receipts and authorization
forms.
“I have absolutely no doubt
whatsoever the money that was
received... which never made it to
the deposit list was money stolen
by Bradley Dunbar, and it was
trust money he was in control of
as a police officer.”
Judge Johnson said the senior
officer’s testimony was “ludicrous
in my view” and “became even
more outlandish” during the
course of his evidence.
Court heard police personnel
used the cash box to make change
and borrow money for things like
buying lunches or plaques for re-
tiring officers.
“It appears the money was
used on a frequent basis as a mini
bank... The money was being
treated completely and totally in-
appropriately by staff and I find
Mr. Dunbar was aware of this in-
appropriate use,” the judge said.
Judge Johnson said the Crown
failed to prove beyond a doubt the
officer was responsible for all of
the missing $4,315.
However, she found Staff Sgt.
Dunbar took all the cash that went
missing during the OPP’s internal
investigation, during which a sur-
veillance camera was installed
and the serial numbers of bills
placed in the box were recorded.
One of the bills, a $5 note, was
found in his wallet when arrested.
The judge called “plausible” Staff
Sgt. Dunbar’s explanation he had
taken the $5 bill from the box to
make change for lunch on ‘perogy
day’ at the station.
Court heard former OPP cadet
Jeb Taylor blew the whistle on the
officer after learning the dash-pad
receipts and related cash were
going missing.
Mr. Taylor reported his suspi-
cions to a sergeant, who alerted
superiors.

Staff Writer
DURHAM — The mornings are longer at
Glen Street Public School — literally.
After staff “unbalanced” the school day
this year, morning studies last an hour longer
than the afternoon at the Oshawa school and
feature a literacy block of instruction.
“Each block runs about 30 minutes,” ex-
plains Eileen Minett, the school’s early litera-
cy resource teacher. “Any research you read
will say you need to dedicate two hours of un-
interrupted time to this literacy block.”
During that time, younger students work
on the components that make up a balanced
literary diet: independent reading, word study,
writing, and two other kinds of reading,
shared or interactive and guided reading.
“Guided reading is slightly different from
the former reading groups,” says Ms. Minett.
“The groups aren’t quite as static as they used
to be. In guided reading, groups of kids are
brought together by their individual needs.”
She says a student who is more advanced
than his or her peers is moved to another,
more challenging group, while weaker read-
ers work more frequently with the teacher.
School principal Jim Nesbitt says the idea
for an unbalanced day came from a Rich-
mond Hill principal who used the setup to im-
prove his school’s test results.
“We have longer blocks for kids to learn,”
says Mr. Nesbitt. “There’s no phys-ed during
this, no music done then, it’s a literacy block.”
An unbalanced day is one of several
changes introduced at the school this year.
Glen Street staff and students are on a lit-
eracy mission with a goal in sight: an im-
provement in Grade 3 students’ Education
Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO)
test scores.
Glen Street’s 2000 Grade 3
scores were the lowest in the
Durham District School Board.
Twelve per cent of students
achieved Level 3 (the provincial
standard) or better in reading,
eight per cent made the grade in
writing, and 22 per cent reached
the level in math. Last year the
scores were a bit higher: 15 per
cent in reading, 22 per cent in
writing and 23 per cent in math.
Glen Street was the only Durham school
of 16 picked by the Province last fall for early
literacy intervention funding. The criteria tar-
geted schools where two-thirds or more of
Grade 3 students failed to meet Level 3,
which is a ‘B’, in testing between 1998 and
2000.
Mr. Nesbitt has been at the school for four
years and says there were factors involved in
the school’s poor showing on previous tests.
In 1998, a building addition was under con-
struction and “there was a lot of noise and
confusion and dust”. The following year there
were 23 portables on site until February.
“Frankly, to concentrate hard on test scores
for the first little while was a little bit on the
backburner,” he says.
Bev Freedman, the board’s programs su-
perintendent, says there are other factors.
Through a partnership with a friend and Sta-
tistics Canada, she has developed profiles of
every school in the board and demonstrated
that some school communities, like Glen
Street, face greater than their share of prob-
lems.
“These are not necessarily inner-city
schools but they are schools of high poverty,”
she says.
Most Glen Street students don’t have the
same access to opportunity as other students,
like having a computer at home, she says. Ms.
Freedman says the board’s job is to give stu-
dents a chance to show what they can do.
“The kids are every bit as capable, so what
you need to do is show them what a Level 3
answer looks like, and how their answer can
be made in to
a Level 3,” she says.
However, Glen Street isn’t
dwelling on obstacles or the
past. Instead, staff, parents and students are
looking to the future. As part of Education
Ministry funding criteria, Mr. Nesbitt has set a
goal of improving the school’s Grade 3 test
scores by five or six per cent over three years.
“Yes our test scores were, are low,” says
Mr. Nesbitt. “I guess we’re at the point of,
what’s the point of making excuses.”
Instead, Mr. Nesbitt reasons if the status
quo wasn’t resulting in student success,
changes had to be made, like the introduction
of the animated literacy program in junior
kindergarten and, as of this year, up to Grade
3. Ms. Minett explains animated literacy de-
velops early reading and writing skills through
the use of shapes, pattern recognition, and by
matching actions with sounds.
And school staff introduced their own pro-
gram for students this year. ‘It’s cool to care
about the ABCs’rewards students with points
for good attendance, behaviour and a commit-
ment to doing school and homework. The
point totals are posted in each classroom, and
when tallied up, the high achievers earn prizes
ranging from lollipops to pizza lunches and
even the grand prize, a scooter donated by Mr.
Nesbitt.
“We want to raise test scores, and if you’re
not attending or are always late, we can’t do
it,” he says.
Kelly Brake, the school’s community
council chairman, says the SCC is solidly be-
hind the changes.
“It’s amazing how many kids are showing
up for pizza” as a result of the ABC program,
she notes.
“Personally, I prefer incentives to the
negative thing, punishment,” she
says. “Kids are coming, kids whose
parents may not have thought it was
important to get to school every
day.”
Getting parents involved by reading
with their kids at home has been dif-
ficult.
“People are busy and I think a lot of
people rely on the school,” says Ms.
Brake.
Ms. Freedman notes many parents
themselves did not do well in school and as a
result may not be comfortable sitting in as an
associate teacher at home.
More changes are probably coming to
Glen Street in the 2002/03 school year as well.
Already introduced in part this year, ‘loop-
ing’, where students have the same teacher for
two or more years, will be more widespread
come September. Mr. Nesbitt says it allows
teachers to avoid the getting-to-know-you pe-
riod at the start of the school year that takes up
the month of September.
Also on the table is student streaming, the
creative structuring of professional develop-
ment time, and maybe even a modified school
year.
Oh, and by the way, Glen Street’s unbal-
anced day may be tweaked a bit.
“Next year, we’re thinking about our liter-
acy block starting slightly later in the morning
to accommodate the students who come late,”
says Ms. Minett.
Mr. Nesbitt explains that would see the lit-
eracy block slotted in between morning recess
and lunchtime.
“What we want to do is maybe put the
physical education and health and music early
in the day,” he says.
The ministry funding amounts to $100,000
a year for three years, and staff and the SCC
are brainstorming on where it would be best
spent.
“Professional development will eat up a lot
of the money, so teachers have opportunities
to learn about how to deliver a balanced liter-
acy program and promote higher-level think-
ing skills,” says Ms. Minett. “We want them to
be able to work in teams to plan so that the
program is consistent and the assessment is
continuous.”
Mr. Nesbitt says a commitment to literacy
in recent years is already paying off, noting
that at the start of the EQAO testing, 40 per
cent of Grade 3 students did not do well
enough to score at any level on the reading
and writing test.
“We have moved them into Level 1 or
Level 2,” he says. “And we’ve moved a lot of
Level 1s into 2s. And so our improvement
isn’t showing yet, because the ministry and
the media only show the percentage at Level 3
and Level 4.”
Mr. Nesbitt said he has recently begun ask-
ing students, “why are we doing ABCs?,” and
typically hears a chorus of, “for the treats”.
He has started correcting students, explain-
ing lollipops, pizza and prizes are not the rea-
son.
“Because our test scores are low,” he tells
them. “And we want to improve.”

Patients are coming
into my office in increasing
numbers, already knowing
what their problem is. Long
before I enter the examina-
tion room and have made
my diagnosis. They are able
to tell me which form of
treatment they would pre-
fer. I an finding this espe-
cially so with athletic foot
problems and with parents
whose children have foot
pains.
We are currently liv-
ing in an information age
and the internet has turned
everyone’s home into
libraries filled with vol-
umes of information. Some
of the web sites are factual
and set up for the lay -per-
son, however, some are so
detailed, They only confuse
the internet user.
When surfing the net,
try to be specific, to avoid
being inundated with hun-
dreds of web pages to
choose from. For example,
never just search the word
“foot” as this is far too
broad a topic. You can begin
your search with the
Ontario Podiatry
Association Web Site. Some
other sites more general are
wemmd.com or familydoc-
tor.org The internet allows
you to search for a podia-
trist in your area, look up
specific problems
(Arthritis.ca) and their
treatments, or it may help
you develop a training pro-
gram.
You may just want to
learn about fitness (fit-
ness.com)or find a directory
for a massage therapist or a
yoga group(yoga.com). You
may want to learn about
proper foot care, for which
there are numerous sites.
For simple problems,
the internet can be benefi-
cial as the patient can begin
self-treatment. In some
cases this may resolve the
problem without the need
for professional help. Care
should always be taken
when treating yourself, a
simple problem may turn
into a larger, more extensive
one that will now, not only
require professional help,
but will take much longer
to resolve. For example a single
planter wart may grow into numer-
ous lesions if home treatment contin-
ues without professional supervi-
sion.
A problem that was thought to
be a simple sprain, may take longer
to heal than you expected. After sev-
eral weeks you decide to seek profes-
sional help and find that the sprain
was indeed a fracture that has now
healed in misalignment, this creates a
more debilitating problem that could
have been avoided with quick med-
ical intervention.
The laws are vague governing
any standard of medical accuracy or
its content. Be wary of promises and
quick fixes that are being sold on the
internet. They are preying upon your
vulnerability and pain. Never buy
prescription drugs on the net. You, as
a layperson are not aware of the pos-
sible drug interactions with any other
medications you may be on. Don’t be
fooled by inexpensive arch supports
that are being passed off as orthotics.
They may not only add to your cur-
rent problems, but certainly may cre-
ate new ones.
Whatever the advantages of
the internet are, the negatives are just
as great. Nothing replaces the need
for the medical professional and his
ability to educate. Several years ago I
created a newsletter for my office
waiting room. I used a disclaimer at
the bottom stating that “Information
contained in this newsletter should
not take the place of the diagnosis
and treatment by a medical profes-
sional”. Maybe this disclaimer
should be used for every medical
web page.

Positive Changes Hypnosis
“Where Results Happen”
Hypnosis Achieves
Results for:
• Insomnia • Stress/Anxiety
Relief • Phobia Relief
• Smoking Cessation
• Freedom from Alcohol
and more...
905-686-7717
Hi, my name is Al LaPrade. I am a retired trick
driver. I have lost 90 pounds in 9 short months
thanks to Positive Changes Hypnosis. My waist
size dropped from a bulging 48 inches to a trim
38. This is my true story - exactly as it
happened to me...
I had been overweight since I was 17. At my
heaviest weight I was close to 300 pounds! It
was terribly uncomfortable. My doctor kept
telling me to lose weight. But how?
I had already tried every method going-
tasteless shakes, fad diets-they never worked.
I’d feel hungry and deprived. When I asked my
doctor for diet pills, he told me that I might as
well throw my money in the wastebasket
‘cause they never work.
Yet even when I knew my health was in
jeopardy, I couldn’t stop eating. It was like
having that little devil on my shoulder. I couldn’t
get through a night with out my snacks and ice
cream. I’d only eat one or two meals a day-but
I’d be munching constantly in-between!
My Breakthrough
One day I was reading the newspaper when I
noticed a a story similar to this one. It was
about people who had lost weight after being
hypnotized. I knew that hypnosis worked for
kicking the smoking
habit, I did it myself
fifteen years ago and
haven’t touched a
cigarette since.
Could hypnosis help
me lose my weight?
The newspaper
said that Positive
Changes Hypnosis
was offering a free
hypnosis screening
and evaluation. I
decided to find out
more.
In the free
screening my
consultant explained
everything to me. It
all made perfect
sense. I never felt
pressured and the
fee was easily within
my budget. I was so
impressed that I
signed up on the
spot. I took off 90
pounds in 9 short
months! Immediate
Results
Within a week of
my first session I
noticed changes in
my behavior. I began
eating three
balanced meals a
day. I’d completely
Enjoying Life...
Carrying around 90 pounds of extra weight is misery beyond
words. I’m glad those days are over! Today I am light on my
feet. I have more energy and my clothing fits better. Sitting is
more comfortable. I actually have a lap! When I look at my old
fat clothes, I can’t believe it.
Before losing weight, I’s just sit around doing puzzles.
Thanks to hypnosis, I have more energy. I am out and about. I
do what I enjoy. I recently recovered some old furniture. I never
would have had that much energy before.
I am confident that I will keep my weight off. Hypnosis
knocked that devil off my shoulder. I don’t have to think about
my weight. My new eating habits are automatic.
Plus, I cut my grocery bill in half. I’m saving over $100 a
month!
FREE
Positive Changes Hypnosis put me back in control. I know it
can do the same for you. That’s why I’m urging you to give
Positive Changes Hypnosis a call. Schedule your free hypnotic
screening. It won’’t cost you one penny to find out for yourself.
I am proud of my success and proud of the organization. The
people at PCH are friendly and helpful-I know they would do
anything for me. I wish I could announce my discovery to the
world- Yes, quick, safe and hassle-free weight loss does exist.
I’m living proof!
I recommend Positive Chances Hypnosis without
reservation. Please don’t suffer another minute. Call now.
“My Amazing Weight Loss Secret!”
“My doctor kept telling me to lose
weight.
But How?”
Al Laprade
Before Shedding 90 Lbs.
forget about food in between. I found myself
eating less, but enjoying it more. Amazing!
I am completely satisfied with my results.
Hypnosis made shedding 90 pounds easy
as can be. It stopped my cravings instantly.
I’ve eliminated snacking. I haven’t had ice
cream since I star ted. Yet I never feel
deprived! My weight melted off at an
average 3 pounds a week
My doctors are impressed. My sugar level
has gone down and my breathing has
improved. One of my physicians is
recommending Positive Changes to
everybody. My doctor says I may even
be back to work soon. That would be a
dream come true.

Healthy Tips For Gardening This Spring
• Warm up before starting. Start with
some easy raking, or go for a five-minute walk
then try lying flat on your back and from its
position, slowly bend each leg toward your
chest and back again. Next, bring both your
knees up together and slowly rotate them side
to side. After a few minutes of this spend some
time stretching your hands and fingers. Now
get out to the garden.
•Don't be in a hurry, remember you are
a gardening for the pleasure of it. Divide your
tasks up into manageable chunks and pace
yourself. Take breaks and do some gentle
stretching to keep yourself limber. Change
your activity to allow different muscles to be
used so you are not overworking one particu-
lar muscle, which can lead to pain or injury.
•Pay attention to your posture and
body mechanics. Move your feet instead of
twisting at your waist when sweeping,
mulching, potting or shoveling. If you can't
avoid twisting, tighten your stomach muscles
in order to protect your back. Use your legs
rather than your back when lifting or unload-
ing heavy bags or pots. Bend your knees, keep
your back straight, and hold the object close to
your body to prevent unnecessary strain on
your back. Rubber-palmed gloves can help in
getting a good grip when lifting.
•Squatting is a good position if you're
not hunching over. If you have to reach for
something move onto all fours so you are well
supported. If you tire work from a sitting posi-
tion for a while.
•Don't "hunch" when you dig. Stand up
over the support of your legs. Step don't twist
to unload the shovel.
•Use ergonomically correct tools. Buy
tools with long handles to help with weeding.
Build or buy a potting bench that is high
enough to prevent unnecessary bending. Sit
on the ground to trowel without bending over.
Use kneepads to avoid putting too much pres-
sure on your knees. Wear gardening gloves to
protect your hands.
•Be smart in the sun. Wear a hat and
use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun-
burn or heatstroke . Drink lots of water and try
to work in the shade as much as possible to
prevent dehydration.

Constipation & the Vicious Cycle
One of the most problematic health conditions today that can
be dealt with effectively is CONSTIPATION!
Many people don’t have bowel movements for days and
sometimes a week. The more compromised digestion, the more
symptoms will prevail. It is not as simple as, in one end and out the
other.
Digestion is a series of chemical breakdowns. Proteins break
down into ammino acids, carbohydrates break down into glucose
(when properly absorbed into the body) and fats break down into
fatty acids.
When digestion is compromised, symptoms occur. Everyone
today feasts on chips, crackers, bagels, pretzels, cakes, muffins, and
granola bars. Whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and
free-range roasted poultry and legumes just can’t compete with the
taste of refined foods that are laden with salt and sugar. A diet high
in refined foods provides no fiber and too much sugar. This is what
begins the vicious cycle.
1.Constipation or sluggish digestion occurs
2.Nutrients don’t get absorbed
3.Immune system plummets
4.Bacterial infections manifest
5.Antibiotics are prescribed
6.Good & bad bacteria are wiped out
7.Bad bacteria multiply
8.New infection sets in & more
antibiotics are required
When bacteria levels are high, food
cravings go out of control. If this sounds all too
familiar, Food Sensitivity testing can help!
The individualized sensitivity report
scales the skin measurement reading into 1)
foods to be avoided 2) foods that need to be
consumed in moderation 3) foods that are satis-
factory 4) foods that are beneficial. If further
assistance is needed for more problematic
health challenges, a Nutritional Consultation
on intestinal and digestive health is highly rec-
ommended and affordable!
If you experience unwanted symptoms,
begin by understanding your sensitivities and
believe that wellness is within your reach!

DURHAM —School dress codes
should consistently spell out what is re-
quired of students to avoid suspensions
when pupils move from one school to an-
other, says a local trustee.
Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda
Crawford raised the issue at the April 15
Durham District School Board meeting.
“You can’t suspend a student for the way
he or she is dressing when the dress code
does not fully explain expectations,” she
said in an interview.
Trustee Crawford said school principals
“have to communicate in such a way that
you go, ‘I know exactly what he’s saying’,”
when you read the dress code.
In particular, she said what may be con-
sidered gang apparel and forbidden at one
school may be permitted at another facility,
leading to confusion for students.
At Anderson Collegiate and Vocational
Institute in Whitby, for example, Trustee
Crawford said, “we’ve got bandanas, we’ve
got this, we’ve got everything. And then I
go to Ajax and it’s a different dress code and
a different perspective from the principal.”
Because Trustee Crawford did not bring
forward a motion at the meeting, Whitby
Trustee Doug Ross successfully motioned
the issue be brought up again at the board
standing committee meeting in two weeks.
“I wanted to see what the feedback was
and I’ll talk a little more about suspen-
sions,” said Trustee Crawford. “I may bring
a motion out because I want more commu-
nication; I don’t want people to assume
what you want.”
Student trustee Brandon Reeve agreed
dress codes could be more specific.
“It’s unfair to suspend a student or pun-
ish a student for disobeying a rule they did-
n’t know existed,” he said.
But to have student dress codes at each
school that restrict the latest gang fashions
would be asking too much, said Whitby su-
perintendent Don McLean.
“It would be very difficult if not impos-
sible to create a dress code in line with our
Code of Conduct to deal with all of the pos-
sibilities,” he said.
In an interview, Mr. McLean said stu-
dents being suspended for dress code viola-
tions after entering a new school “has not
been a big issue” this year.
“When students enter a new school they
get a school handbook with the Code of
Conduct in it,” he said, noting it includes the
dress code.
The expectations in the school dress
code are generally outlined for a new stu-
dent, said Mr. McLean, adding new students
who unknowingly break a dress rule are
usually given a warning before being sus-
pended.
Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler, during
the meeting, railed against sexually explicit
student dress habits, which she said is “get-
ting out of hand.
“We’re living in a time where everyone is
copying Britney Spears. The dress of our
students is becoming more and more sexu-
ally explicit.”

DURHAM ––It will
cost consumers thousands
of dollars more to dig or
drill a new well in Ontario
if changes proposed by the
Ministry of the Environ-
ment to protect water quali-
ty get the go-ahead.
“We think because we’re
codifying (new) standards
that it will result in an in-
crease of $2,000 to the av-
erage cost of a new well,”
John Steele, a spokesman
for the Environment Min-
istry (MOE), said this
week.
The Province recently
rolled out proposed amend-
ments to Ontario’s well reg-
ulations, including stricter
construction standards and
the requirement for well
technicians to have more
education and training be-
fore they can be licensed.
The MOE has not updated
the well regulation — intro-
duced in 1946 — since
1988.
“For you and your fami-
ly out there, it’s going to re-
sult in better security for
your water system and the
knowledge the water
you’ve got should be safe,”
Mr. Steele said. “There are
going to be tougher require-
ments and that, in the end,
will improve your water
quality.”
But critics of the pro-
posed changes say the min-
istry’s efforts could be use-
less unless it begins to re-
hire environmental inspec-
tors laid off during the
1990s.
Tony Wong, a manager
of environmental health
with Durham Region, said
without inspections there is
no mechanism to ensure
well technicians are follow-
ing the rules.
“How do you know
they’re doing it right?” Mr.
Wong asked. “It’s a paper
trail now and (the MOE is)
saying, ‘Well, you’re re-
sponsible to follow by the
code’.”
Peter Wilson, owner of
Wilson’s Water Wells in
Stouffville, which does 90
per cent of its business in
Durham, said digging a
new well is the only thing a
homebuilder doesn’t need a
permit for.
“There’s no inspections
at all,” said Mr. Wilson,
past-president of the On-
tario Groundwater Associa-
tion. “If you have inspec-
tors, at least you know
everything’s done right.”
The MOE has not em-
ployed well inspectors
since the 1980s, said Mr.
Steele. The ministry cur-
rently investigates well
technicians on a complaint
basis.
In the first half of the
2001/02 fiscal year, the
MOE conducted eight in-
vestigations and laid 47
charges for non-compliance
with the well regulation,
Mr. Steele said. In June of
last year, the MOE fined
one individual $45,000 per-
taining to nine charges for
non-compliance, he added.
“The laws are pretty
stringent as they exist now,”
Mr. Steele said.
However, Mr. Wilson
said the MOE’s complaints-
investigation system does-
n’t prevent problems.
“If you have a com-
plaint, they’ll go on a witch
hunt trying to find out what
happened instead of trying
to cut it off in the early
stages,” he said.
Earl Marwood, execu-
tive director for the Ontario
Groundwater Association
(OGA), said it will likely
ask the MOE to hire inspec-
tors to conduct audits on
some new wells.
“The audit system’s
quite a bit like Revenue
Canada,” explained Earl
Marwood.
“We’re not all audited
but we have that fear of
being audited so we do our
books correctly.”
Mr. Marwood said the
OGA is generally support-
ive of the MOE’s proposed
amendments, especially the
requirement for more edu-
cation for well technicians.
The MOE is seeking
comments until Tuesday,
June 4 on its proposed
amendments. Visit its Web
site at www.ene.gov.on.ca

Barbara
Wilson earns
Clare Wooldridge
Memorial Award
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —If a Rit-
son Road Public School
student is in tears, chances
are Barbara Wilson will be
there in a flash to listen
and offer support.
The Oshawa education-
al assistant (EA) was
named the 13th winner of
the Clare Wooldridge
Memorial Award at the
April 15 Durham District
School Board meeting.
“This award was a huge
surprise and I’m quite
overwhelmed by it,” said
Ms. Wilson, a Courtice res-
ident. “I know many EAs
who could be standing here
tonight.”
The award is named for
a former board employee,
an EA with the board for
17 years until her death in
1987, who loved and was
devoted to special-needs
children. The
board recognizes
an outstanding
educational as-
sistant each year.
Ms. Wilson’s
first job with the
board was in
1984 at Conant
Public School in
Oshawa, a
school where
Ms. Wooldridge
once worked.
She thanked the
Ritson school
staff for nomi-
nating her, with
special mention
to teacher
Ardyth Korte,
who first nomi-
nated Ms. Wil-
son for the award
in 1995. Ms.
Wooldridge’s
daughter, Megan
Elliott, who is
the board educa-
tion director’s
administrative
assistant, pre-
sented the
award. Ms. El-
liott established
the honour in her
mother’s memo-
ry.
Ritson princi-
pal Maret
Sadem-Thomp-
son described
Ms. Wilson as “a
joy” and very
worthy recipient.
“She is just marvel-
lous,” Ms. Sadem-Thomp-
son said in an interview.
“EAs, very often you’re
looking at somebody who
is devoted to children and
Barb is exemplary in that
regard.
“She comes in early, she
stays late and she gives up
her lunches.”

April 21 to 27 is a very special week. If you are a volunteer, you probably know
why. If not, you may be surprised to learn that this is National Volunteer Week and
everyone is invited to
participate!
National Volunteer Week is a special time of the year when we honour those who
generously donate their time and energy. This week is also an occasion to
increase the public’s awareness of the important contributions volunteers make to
the Canadian society. As part of this week, some 5,000 agencies and centres will
organize special events across the country.
Honouring volunteers officially began in 1943 when the Women’s Voluntary
Services in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver organized special events
to highlight the important contributions made by women on the home front during
the Second World War. Later in the 1960s, these events turned into a special
week to honour volunteers in these communities. Over time, this week grew in
importance and continues to this day.
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer but don’t know where to start? If you
have children, their school probably needs a parent like you. If you have a parent
who is living in a senior’s residence, your presence as a volunteer could make a
world of difference. Are you a good pianist, painter or skater? Do you have strong
social skills and know when it is time to just listen, talk or take action? When it
comes to volunteering, there are so many things you can do, and so many people
you can help! Contact your local volunteer agencies and find out more today.
Please call 905-665-2222
or 1-800-263-7970
We provide an opportunity for
volunteers to be matched with clients in
their neighbourhood!
Just an hour or two a week can make
such a difference to a lonely person.

The tooth, the whole tooth and
nothing but the tooth!
As important as our pearly whites are, many of us
neglect our teeth. In fact, 90 percent of us will develop
some type of gum disease in our life. Gum disease often
starts with plaque that develops along and beneath the
gums. If this accumulation is not removed daily, it can
eventually turn into tartar and cause an infection known
as gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can destroy gum
tissue and even cause tooth loss.
Thankfully, there is an effective way to ward off gum
disease: prevention. If your dental hygiene habits could
use some improvement, these points can help:
• Brush after every meal and before going to bed for at
least three minutes.
• Use a soft toothbrush that will not damage your gums.
• Use dental floss every day to clean where your
toothbrush can’t reach, such as between the teeth and
under the gum line.
• Limit your
consumption
of sugary food
such as
chocolate,
candy and soft
drinks, which
promote
cavities.
• Quit smoking!
It promotes
dental
problems and
– even worse –
mouth cancer.
• See your
dentist
immediately if
you have
persistent bad
breath or gums
that are red,
puffy or
tender; don’t
wait until it
hurts!
• Visit your
dentist on a
regular basis –
at least twice a
year.
And if gum disease has already done
some damage, consult an orthodontist.
They are experts in treating gum
disease as well as in regenerating bone
and gum tissue.2000

arrange your appointment.
They are also offering a toothbrush
exchange for all ages. Drop by during

Pickering has big share of Durham’s heroes
Durham council, police
honour citizens for
going above and beyond
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham hon-
oured nine heroes, including five
for their quick thinking and ac-
tions in Pickering, from within its
communities during the Durham
Regional Police Civilian Awards.
Durham council and the
Durham Regional Police Service
recognized the efforts of citizens
who went above and beyond to
save lives and stop crime in
progress without thought to their
own well-being.
“Congratulations on a job well
done and thank heavens you live
in Durham Region,” said Durham
Chairman Roger Anderson dur-
ing a presentation last Wednes-
day.
“You’re a great group of citi-
zens.”
The recipients come from all
walks of life and live in various
communities throughout the re-
gion.
• Victoria Smith and Lawrence
Thomas, employees in a Picker-
ing video store, assisted police in
apprehending two men attempt-
ing to rob the store Jan. 12. Po-
lice credit their efforts and pro-
fessionalism in the arrest of the
suspects;
• Dave Bissonnette of Picker-
ing assisted an officer with a re-
sistant suspect Jan. 22, 2001. As
the officer fought with the sus-
pect, alongside Hwy. 401 traffic,
Mr. Bissonnette intercepted and
managed to help the officer hand-
cuff the suspect;
• Hester Nevin was in her
Pickering home Jan. 23 when she
heard a woman desperately call-
ing for help down the street. She
rushed to the woman’s aid and
found a man violently beating
her.
Mrs. Nevin ran and alerted her
husband, Patrick, an off-duty
Toronto police officer. The man
jumped in his car to escape, strik-
ing Mr. Nevin in the process.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Nevin pulled
the injured woman off the road
out of danger from the approach-
ing car. The couple took the vic-
tim to their home to await an am-
bulance;
• Jeff Garlin noticed three
young men behaving oddly Feb.
12, 2001 near a Pickering conve-
nience store on Brock Road. As
he continued to observe the men
he saw one had what appeared to
be a mask.
He notified police on his cell-
phone then quickly warned the
convenience store clerks he be-
lieved they were about to be
robbed. When police arrived,
they found one male wearing a
mask and confiscated three large
knives and pillowcases;
• Christian Megraw helped
save an elderly man stuck in the
middle of a swamp in McLaugh-
lin Park in Oshawa April 1.
Mr. Megraw heard groaning
and observed the man submerged
up to his neck in water about 50
metres into the swamp.
He called 911 and asked an-
other person to direct rescuers to
the location, returning to the
scene to reassure the man until an
officer arrived.
Mr. Megraw then waded into
the water with the officer and car-
ried the man to warmth and safe-
ty;
• Neil Chambers and his six-
wheel Argo machine were in the
right place at the right time Feb. 2
when two men on a snow ma-
chine crashed through the ice into
the frigid waters of Lake Scugog
in north Durham.
Mr. Chambers drove out and
was able to rescue one and wait-
ed with the other for rescuers to
winch him out; and
• Kim MacDonald didn’t stop
to think of her own life when she
pulled a three-year-old girl out of
the path of a rapidly moving van
that had backed through the front
window of a Dundas Street gro-
cery store in Whitby May 4,
2001.
Ms. MacDonald, who was
slightly hurt in her efforts, may
have saved the child from serious
or even fatal injury.
The police awards are present-
ed annually.

It’s Definitely Worth The Visit
How the West won —
athleticism, deep pool
of senior boys’basketball
talent to draw on
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
DURHAM —The stars of Durham
high school hoops were out on the
court in Pickering Wednesday night.
The Western All-Stars, however,
shone a lot brighter than their Eastern
counterparts during the Durham Re-
gional High School Senior Boys’ All-
Star Basketball Game before a jam-
packed and jumping gymnasium at St.
Mary Catholic Secondary School.
The talented and athletic group of
westerners had little trouble in handing
the east squad a lopsided 100-59 loss.
The event also featured a three-point
shooting contest and a slam-dunk com-
petition.
Western all-star coach Dave Jackson
of the Pickering High Trojans had an
inkling the Eastern all-stars would be
in for a long night, as the Western all-
stars included players from the final
four Lake Ontario Secondary School
Athletics squads this season: champion
St. Mary Monarchs, the runners-up
Trojans, and semifinalists Dunbarton
High Spartans and Pine Ridge Pumas.
“We had a strong team with a lot of
athletic guys. That allowed us to get up
right from the start. We had (all-stars)
from the four semifinalists in Durham.
That’s where we were drawing from,”
explained Jackson.
The Western squad included players
from Ajax and Pickering schools, along
with those from Uxbridge Secondary
School and Whitby’s All-Saints and
Sinclair. Meanwhile, the Eastern all-
stars drew players from Oshawa, Cour-
tice and Bowmanville along with
Brock High School, Port Perry High
School and Whitby’s Father Leo J.
Austin.
The West sprinted out to a 9-0 lead
before Austin’s Matt Tosoni answered
with a layup. It got worse for the East
as it fell behind by 20 at the 10-minute
mark and 53-24 at halftime.
Despite owning a 29-point bulge en-
tering the second half, there was no let-
up in the Western onslaught, as they
cruised to a whopping 40-point cushion
at the 12-minute mark.
Dunbarton’s Adrian Johnson, the
game’s most valuable player, con-
curred the Western club’s athleticism
made it difficult for the East.
“That’s what happens when you
have these type of guys,” he said fol-
lowing the game. “We have a lot of
good athletes in the west and they’ve
got the gunners (shooters) in the east
and that’s why we won.”
Dunbarton’s Kemar Munroe led the
West with 15 points. He was followed
by Pickering High centre Ian Whyte
with 12 and Johnson with 10.
Meanwhile, Tosoni led the East with
14 points. Craige Green of the
McLaughlin Trojans had 10.
The top dunker in Durham was
Munroe, who made two sensational
flushes in the final round to sew up the
title. In second place was Eastdale’s
Kevin Dennison, followed by Pickering
High’s Akiel John.
Meanwhile, in the three-point
shooting competition, Matt Parfitt of
the Sinclair Celtics fired 16 points in
the final round to capture top prize.
Nathan Gardner of Brock took second
spot with 13 points and Jody Thomas
of Bowmanville High School placed
third with 12 points.
GAME NOTES:St. Mary senior
boys’ basketball coach and event orga-
nizer Mike Gordensky was happy with
how the evening unfolded. “The crowd
was good and we had no problems.
And, the kids showed off their talent.”
Gordensky noted several Canadian and
U.S. college basketball scouts were in
attendance. He hopes to host the all-
star game at St. Mary again next year.
This year’s contest represented the re-
turn of the classic to Durham for the
first time in four years.

NOTICE
Aquatic Sciences Inc. of St. Catharines is applying
to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) to
provide supplement effluent treatment to assist with
the control of zebra mussels within the Ontario
Power Generation Inc., Pickering A Nuclear Power
Generating Station raw water supply system.
The zebra mussel was introduced to the Great
Lakes in 1986 and has since adversely impacted
industrial and municipal water consumers
throughout the region by colonizing the inside
surfaces of facility piping.
ASI is proposing to dechlorinate treated low
pressure service water. The effluent (discharge) will
be stringently monitored under guidelines set forth
by the MOE for the removal of trace total residual
chlorine prior to final discharge. The length of the
program is approximately from May until
November and will be performed on a yearly basis
as required. The 2002 operation will begin
approximately May 1, 2002.
Questions regarding this application may be
forwarded to ASI:

For The Love That Never Ends
Many years you have been
The example I admire most
To find the love like yours
Is to find a continuous rose
With a stem so strong to handle any storm
With beauty that all envy more
With softness so pure and true
With this rose your love is always in bloom.
When I think of all the things you do,
the ways in which you care,
I’m always filled with a sense
of gratitude and pride
that is always there.
I seldom take the time to tell you
that I’m happy you’re my Mom and Dad;
so I’ll tell you now what’s in my heart,
“You’re the best that I could have!”
Love, Jackie

Nagymarosi scores
twice in provincial
title-clinching win
DURHAM —A lot of encour-
agement went a long way for the
Durham West Lightning midget
‘AA’rep girls’hockey team.
The Lightning received a built-
in cheering section in the form of
the Durham West Lightning ‘AA’
atoms who cheered on the midgets
after capturing the Ontario
Women’s Hockey Association
(OWHA) provincial title over the
Brampton Thunder earlier in the
day.
The atoms’cheering paid off as
the midgets were spurred on to a 3-
1 victory, ironically against anoth-
er Brampton Thunder squad, to
capture their own OWHA provin-
cial championship.
The midgets dominated the
final from start to finish. Dee
Nagymarosi scored her eighth and
ninth goals of the tournament.
Christina Davis added an insur-
ance marker.
“Every member of this team
contributed to our victory. The
girls played like champions,” said
head coach Frank Marson.
The midgets posted a 1-0 victo-
ry over Thunder Bay in the semifi-
nals. Davis scored the game-win-
ner late in the third period.
In the quarter-finals, Durham
West ended Barrie’s hopes with a
4-2 victory. Jennifer MacLean and
Nagymarosi paced the Lightning’s
attack with a pair of goals each.
The midgets began their quest
for the championship in their 16-
team division against Scarbor-
ough, losing 4-2. Nagymarosi and
Alanna Spencer scored.
In Game 2, Durham West
pulled out a 1-0 victory over Thun-
der Bay in a hard-fought contest.
Nagymarosi scored with less than
five minutes remaining in the third
period.
In the final round-robin game,
Durham dominated en route to a 7-
0 win over Hamilton. Nagymarosi
scored a hat trick, while Brayden
Ferguson scored twice and captain
Emily Sand and Davis had singles.
Outstanding play by Jennifer
Renaud and Amanda Cretto earned
the duo the three shutouts.
Other team members are Brit-
ney Chandler, Sarah Connelly,
Kalley Greer, Natalie Clegg,
Karen Farquharson, Teresa Flax-
man, Jessica Judges and Lindsey
Lilly.
Craig Chandler, John MacLean
and Ian Spencer are assistant
coaches. The manager is Tony
Cretto and the trainer is Arlene
Sand.
Cheers to Durham West midgets
Members of the Durham West Lightning ‘AA’ midget rep girls’
hockey team celebrate after capturing the Ontario Women’s
Hockey Association provincial championship for the age group.
PICKERING —Athletes with
the Pickering Swim Club rode a
wave of success at several recent
meets, including its own Rainbow
Classic last weekend.
The PSC meet featured a large
field of swimmers from many dif-
ferent area clubs.
Jeff Cernele was tops among the
Pickering Swim Club contingent,
swimming to three gold medals,
two silvers and a bronze.
Other multiple gold-medal fin-
ishers were Kaleigh Heard, Adam
Gomba and Matt Wolch.
Many other swimmers finished
with top-three placings, including
Kathryn Ball, Laura Barnes,
Alysha Lynden, Patricia Manos,
Christina Walsh, Will Ball,Andrew
Barrett, Matt Johnston and Joey
Lupiccini.
Earlier this month, Pickering
swimmers were among the com-
petitors at the annual Ajax Sprint
Invitational at the University of
Toronto. Cailie Douse captured a
silver medal in the 200-metre but-
terfly and a bronze in the 200m
breaststroke. Jamie Del Mastro
won silver medals in the 50m free
and 200m individual medley.
Michael Storto swam to bronze in
the 200m fly.
Also earning multiple top-10
finishes were Barnes, Allie Farag,
Heard, Renata Jaciw-Zurakowsky,
Jessica Ward, Sarah Wolch, Barrett,
Cernele and Graham Wolch.
Club members achieved solid
performances at the Surfside Meet
in Newmarket. Douse posted an
excellent weekend with four gold
medals and a silver. Cernele also
brought home four gold, along with
silver and bronze. Other gold-
medal winners were Lauren Camp-
bell, Heard, Scott Johnston, Gra-
ham Wolch and Matt Wolch. Other
medal winners were Lisa Barbieri,
Barnes, Farag, Krista Hastings,
Lynden, Andre Boulay, Ryan Fer-
guson and Lupiccini.
Heard, Del Mastro, Jaciw-Zu-
rakowsky, Walsh, Ward, Gomba,
Alex Griffith, Jeff Hannon, Brad
Johnston and Storto represented
the club at the Junior Provincial
Short Course Championships in
Brantford last month.
Del Mastro had an excellent
showing with a silver in the 50m
free to go along with four other top-
10 finishes. Jaciw-Zurakowsky
also posted two top-10 finishes. All
other swimmers had top-30 finish-
es.
The Youth Nationals were held
in Nepean recently. Pickering sent
three swimmers — Samantha
Rosen, Del Mastro and Graham
Wolch — to the prestigious event.
Del Mastro swam to a third-place
finish in the 200m IM and posted
two other top-10 finishes.
Team coaches are Lucy Hewitt-
Henderson, Tom McLoughlin and
Cathy Wolch.

I remember my father telling me that when he
started his practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) in Canada, many people viewed acupuncture
as some kind of superstition. That was 1970; the
year China began to open its doors to the world with
the visit of President Nixon. Since that time, the peo-
ple of North America have been increasingly able to
benefit from acupuncture, and it has gained accep-
tance in the field of pain management.
While acupuncture is useful in managing
pain-related cases, there are many other uses for
acupuncture and its foundation, TCM. “You can
treat that?” is the surprised question I often hear in
my clinic. We are now hearing more and more about
the use of TCM in the treatment of diseases such as
fibroids, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer.
TCM has been used and refined for more than
five thousand years. At its core is its ‘total wellness’
approach to treatment. TCM practitioners focus on
more than one condition at the same time.
Regardless of the complexity of your condition, the
goal is to find ‘the pattern’ among all of your symp-
toms, identify its roots, and then tailor the treatment
to you specifically.
How can TCM be so effective? To understand
how it works, you must keep an open mind. It
would be most accurate to say that TCM treats
disharmonies between the Organ System, Qi, Blood,
Fluid, Spirit and Essence. Basically, the main strate-
gy of Chinese medicine is to restore harmony.
Each human being is seen as an ecosystem in
miniature. Like a gardener choosing the proper irri-
gation and compost to help grow robust plants spe-
cific to a given ecosystem, the TCM doctor uses a
unique combination of acupuncture combined with
herbal and food prescriptions to recover and sustain
health in a given individual.
Afraid of needles? Did you know that TCM
includes tools such as herbal medicine, tuina, and
laser therapy? The modality used depends on both
the patient and the style and specialty of the TCM
doctor.
To discover whether Chinese medicine could be
helpful for you, try it – even if you are needle pho-
bic! If you have any questions, you can e-mail Jane
